Let G be a connected graph of order n with Laplacian eigenvalues μ1 ≥ μ2 ≥ ... ≥ μn-1 > mn = 0. The Kirchhoff index of G is defined as [xxx] In this paper. we give lower and upper bounds on Kf of graphs in terms on n, number of edges, maximum degree, and number of spanning trees. Moreover, we present lower and upper bounds on the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result for the Kirchhoff index.

Suppose that $t \ge 2$ is an integer, and randomly label $t$ graphs with the integers $1 \dots n$. We give sufficient conditions for the number of edges common to all $t$ of the labelings to be asymptotically Poisson as $n \to \infty$. We show by example that our theorem is, in a sense, best possible. For $G_n$ a sequence of graphs of bounded degree, each having at most $n$ vertices, Tomescu has shown that the number of spanning trees of $K_n$ having $k$ edges in common with $G_n$ is asymptotically $e^{-2s/n}(2s/n)^k/k! \times n^{n-2}$, where $s=s(n)$ is the number of edges in $G_n$. As an application of our Poisson-intersection theorem, we extend this result to the case in which maximum degree is only restricted to be ${\scriptstyle\cal O}(n \log\log n/\log n)$. We give an inversion theorem for falling moments, which we use to prove our Poisson-intersection theorem.

Lower and upper bounds for the Laplacian energy-like (LEL) molecular structure descriptor are obtained, better than those previously known. These bonds are in terms of number of vertices and edges of the underlying molecular graph and of graph complexity (number of spanning trees)

This paper considers commuting graphs over the semidihedral group SD8n. We compute their eigenvalues and obtain that these commuting graphs are not hyperenergetic for odd n≥15 or even n≥2. We further compute the Laplacian spectrum, the Laplacian energy and the number of spanning trees of the commuting graphs over SD8n. We also discuss vertex connectivity, planarity, and minimum disconnecting sets of these graphs and prove that these commuting graphs are not Hamiltonian.

In this note, we first give an alternative elementary proof of the relation between the determinant of a link and the spanning trees of the corresponding Tait graph. Then, we use this relation to give an extremely short, knot theoretical proof of a theorem due to Shank stating that a link has component number one if and only if the number of spanning trees of its Tait graph is odd.

Given a connected regular graph $G$, let $l(G)$ be its line graph, $s(G)$ its subdivision graph, $r(G)$ the graph obtained from $G$ by adding a new vertex corresponding to each edge of $G$ and joining each new vertex to the end vertices of the corresponding edge and $q(G)$ the graph obtained from $G$ by inserting a new vertex into every edge of $G$ and new edges joining the pairs of new vertices which lie on adjacent edges of $G$. A formula for the normalised Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $l(G)$ (respectively $s(G),r(G)$ and $q(G)$) in terms of the normalised Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $G$ and the number of vertices and edges of $G$ is developed and used to give a sharp lower bound for the degree-Kirchhoff index and a formula for the number of spanning trees of $l(G)$ (respectively $s(G),r(G)$ and $q(G)$).

The [Formula: see text]-index of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined as the sum of weights [Formula: see text] over all edges [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give sharp upper bounds of the [Formula: see text]-index (forgotten topological index) over bicyclic graphs, in terms of the order and maximum degree.
